Today I estimated the position of the beam spot on the input mode cleaner mirrors, following the procedure used in LLO alog 5010. The results:
Coil drive unbalance (%) |
Position Shift of Node (mm) |
|
MC1P | -4.0 | -1.5 |
MC1Y | 1.7 | 0.6 |
MC2P | -5.9 | -2.2 |
MC2Y | -4.3 | 1.6 |
MC3P | -4.1 | 1.5 |
MC3Y | -7.9 | 3.0 |
I couldn't find documentation on how to get to coil drive imbalance from P2L/Y2L gain, so I wrote up a short document in TeX describing the method to make reproducing these results relatively straightforward.
